What are they teaching THESE KIDS!!!

[Mahogany Momma]

I just saw this video... couldn't post it on BMC but you can click here to watch. PLEASE COME BACK HERE AND COMMENT ... I was up in arms when I saw this one... this is just too much! Moms do chime in.


This is sad and not appropriate ... these kids are too young and these things are being taught earlier and earlier and ... alright go watch the video. - lh

I AM SHOCK AND AT THE MOMENT LOST FOR WORDS,THIS IS INSANITY.

I don't even have to watch the video. I've seen this sort of thing before. It's extremely low class. I've seen a park in Ft. Lauderdale where they are teaching little girls to be ho's thru cheerleading with all those bump and grind, gyrating movements. I've seen it live. I don't need to see a video on it. It's absolutely disgusting and a definite sign of ignorance and stupidity. And the thing that gets me is these parents think this is cute, but later on, they will complain about their kids coming home with babies at 12 years old, and having another mouth to feed. It's absolutely ridiculous, but you know, there is a ghetto mentality that thinks this is ok

Wow, I thought I'd seen it all. Jesus, help me if my kids ever end up a party like this! I thought it was bad when my sister's daughter and cousins (ages 1-5) were being encouraged to shake their behinds and grind (ame moves as this...only not with eachother). This just breaks my heart and makes me hit someone at the same time.

Wow, an the adult was encouraging it, Wow

My dialup connection is too slow to let me see but I pretty sure I know what its about. At first look, you may be disgusted. But someone decided to look beyond that and write this


[quote]My point there IS a culture of people who feel this type of dancing is OKAY, for adults, for children, and everything in between. Look at the video... there are at least half a dozen ADULTS standing around happy and cheering. This is not exclusive to this party... I have seen children dancing like this in America, in the Caribbean in various parts of the world where there are Africans in diaspora. All Im asking is IF... just IF, Maybe or Perhaps WE are the ones misreading the expression of these dances much like the Europeans misread it centuries ago.

Much of what we form about our bodies, sex and acceptability comes from religions and other facets of our culture/society....

Someone asked how could this be cultural? who would find this acceptable? And I must answer that there are hordes of people worldwide that do not feel that children winding and grinding is wrong...

Someone else stated that certain cultures of people are not taught that sex is bad. So in that light if Sex is NOT Bad... then what would be the problem with Grinding or simulated sex? Would it not be an expression and celebration of procreation? Or is celebrating procreating too "primitive" and we're too evolved for that?[/quote]

She does have a point. Sex isn't bad and sex and procreation should be celebrated and revered. But in this culture sex is not celebrated and revered - it's 'nasty', 'sinful', 'dirty' and 'good girls don't.' So what is disturbing to me all that early humping and grinding is not something done in divine reverence to sex and procreation - but a way to further define sex as dirty, sinful, untamed, and degraded. Those girls will grow up thinking that they must use their body to attract love and those boys will think that women and sex is their god-given right - even if the women do not want to sleep with them. This culture has very weird views about sex - and that's why people are so F-up. That why we have so much sexual crimes and deviancy. We obsess with sex and yet it's one of those 'sins of the flesh' that has to controlled and moved away from like it's an wild animal. It's use to sell everything but it's also dirty. That's the real shame.

I've been to a beltain festival with sex and procreation is the spiritual theme and meaning. The whole 'tie the ribbon around the maypole' is sex and phalliccentric themed event - and it was kid friendly. Even bellydancing is sexual and sexual - and I yet I think it beatiful and appropriate for those who are about 10 and above to learn.

I very cynical and I just smh. I see this often. Its all cute until Tawanna get pregnant at 14 by Dawan and by the time she 20 she done been raped and had over 25 lovers and Dawan got 8 kids by 7 women and also forced several into having sex with him but they didn't testify or call the police because they figure that's just how men are. Then it's not so cute - but no one seems to look that far ahead.

And this video looks as if it might be somewhere in the Carribean. A parent walk in a scene like that US and the girls (and I stress girls) will be getting their butts whooped for letting a boy 'do it to her' like that. The boys will be put out and sent home and told 'don't ever come around here messin with my lil girl again.'

No words...

Where is the shame? I can't believe these people think it is okay to destroy these children's minds this way. They will have to reap what they have sown for how they are raising these children.

Where is the shame

This is just another example of what happens when we take our eyes off the prize . . .

Only by building better caring communities for our children may we hope to build brighter futures, and a better people and planet.

I can't believe what i just saw that was so inappropriate for these adults to encourage these little children to behave that way. That is just directing them down the wrong path of early pregnancy's and std's.

[Angela]

OMG i cant believe that adult women would encourage this kind of dancing among children their ages. It amazes me as a mother to think that any woman of any culture would think this is cute, just my opinion!!!

[Ruthy M. Tyre]

The video in question was brought to my attention by my 22 year old daughter who found it quite disgusting. I agree with that assessment. What is sad is that when parents have no value system, then there is no foundation with which to teach our children from. Is this is our future, we don't stand a chance. RT
